Short Grain Train near Goondah |
| Description: |
While some major roads in the US won't even look at a grain train with less than 100 cars, short trains are common in Australia. This 20-hopper effort originated in Harden and is on its way to export behind the normal pair of 81-class units. |

| Title: |
Up and Down |
| Description: |
The Sydney to Melbourne Main South features an undulating profile through a good portion of its |ath with grfdes up to 2.5% frequently encountered. This "up" (towards Sydney, eastbound in this case) container train is climbing a long stretch of 1.5% between Goondah and Bowning. Original English-influenced clearances on this line (particularly numerous stone road overpasses) limit trains to single-stack only. |
